There could be quite a few reasons that will get you to randomly dismount Torrent in Elden Ring. The most commonly found problem is clicking L3 on your console while changing direction. Players have hurriedly clicked the left analog of their console and doing so dismount off of the horse.

While Torrent is quite useful in most fights, he can easily be knocked off by enemies without your knowledge. You might even dismount if you press the buttons to use the whistle while you have already mounted him. This can happen during a fight if your hand is not set with Torrent.

The problem with this is you might fail the fight and your horse might die. It costs a flask of Health just to bring him back. That can be troublesome in a boss fight or with multiple enemies around.

How to Stop Randomly Dismounting

There are a few ways that you might be able to stop your randomly dismounting off of horse problem:

  • Practice your mount and dismount on an empty field with the Whistle.
  • Check how you can avoid clicking the L3. Whether you can use a different or slow approach to movement.
  • Change the general location of the Whistle in your Inventory if you keep clicking it by mistake.

While Torrent is one of the most important resources you have, it is important to master how to use him.
